Genetic testing is the process of using medical tests to look for changes in a person’s genes or chromosomes. Hundreds of different genetic tests are used today, and more are being developed. Predictive Gene Testing is commonly used to check for the risk of inheriting cancer; such as breast cancer.

Genetic Testing is also used for:
